New to this site ad trying to figure out how it works. I am trying to post as a new member so I am hoping this goes thru. I am a senior adult and have just been diagnosed by the Drexil Vaginitis Center to have vulvodynia along with Vestibulitis (not sure if spelled correctly). My symptoms are vaginal burning, itching, soreness around the vaginal opening with one spot in particular. Some …

Today has been the day I've been waiting for. The day something FINALLY makes sense.
I've been told countless times that I've got nerve damage or a muscular condition, yet none of the specific treatments have helped me. My GP suggested attacking this from a different angle so referred me to a dermatologist specialist

Hello. Thank you for this wonderful site. I'm currently under the care of a dr in Phoenix that specializes in vaginal disorders. I will probably be on a suppository of estridol the rest of my life and I am currently on medications for a rare form of vaginitis that's pretty unheard of for my age. My vagina literally hates me. I've struggled with vulvadynia for 20 years, the duration of my …

I am wondering if anyone else in this forum has experience an increase or flare up in their vulvodynia as a result of the coverage of the sexual abuse scandals in Hollywood, DC, and the recent gymnastics scandal. I have definitely had a flare up.

Well I'm back in pain after 7 years of pain free days.
I was diagnosed with vulvodynia when I was 17. I suffered for three years with horrible burning all day, painful sex with my boyfriend and just pure misery I went into a spontaneous remission when I was 20. I'm still not sure how the pain stopped but all the sudden I could go an entire day without thinking of my vagina, sex started to …

Hi there. I'm 25 and have been dealing with this for over a year and a half and I'm really starting to lose hope this will ever stop.

In July of 2016 I had a yeast infection. When Monistat didn't work I went to my gynecologist who prescribed Diflucan. When the itching didn't stop she retested me and found that my yeast infection was gone, but I now had a bacterial infection. After taking the …

In warm weather I wear skirts and dresses often, and usually without underwear. This really helps for both vulva pain and itching. But I live in an area that gets very cold for 6 months of the year. I could continue to wear skirts, but then I would need to wear tights/pantyhose to stay warm, which would completely defeat the purpose.Ideas? Thanks!

I invested in a lot of leggings/tights with plenty of stretch that are cotton based. Here in Australia they are a big fashion trend so it works well for me. They arn't as warm as jeans, but much comfier. I also bought quite a few pairs of loose-fit harem/hippy style pants that I could team with cute knit-wear. I bought all kinds of prints, black and white, leopard print, ect. If you look on ebay.com you can pick them up really cheap from china/hong kong for as little as $8 a pair and they are just as good quality as everywhere else. Also if you can handle it, "jeggings" - jeans that are made like leggings, can be another option for when you are having a "good day". I tend to wear these while I am on my period as I can not wear tampons and the bulki-ness of the pad provides protection from the crotch of the jeggings.
